I think MH3U worked differently than 4U and XX. Instead of on the extdata folder, it goes on your save file folder.
Inside of your Nintendo 3DS folder there's a "title" folder.
Inside should be a folder named 0004000. There should be another folder that matches de ID of MH3U, the european copy for example, as is the one I own, has an ID of b1d00.
Inside, there should be a folder named content, and I believe the files should go there.
Reading this made me remember I should backup my dlc files for all three games just in case, we cannot get them the normal way anymore.

Wouldnt it just be that they stick the files on the 3ds card and just install them with FBI?
DLC in the monster hunter games works differently from typical DLC, it's downloaded ingame in the style of individually downloaded "extra content", kind of like an on-demand spotpass. it's similar to how you download pokemon via mystery gift
The dowloadable content for MH games is not an "executable" CIA or similar. It was in-game downloads, it got the files themselves and put them in a specific folder to access whenever needed. MH3U's files for example are close to what an installed game looks like, with a tmd file among other things, while MHXX has four files named 00000000~00000004.
Not to be confused with updates, which are different and those can be insalled through CIA.
MHXX does have DLC, a very large amount of quests, item packs (which I never redeemed, lol) and special Palicos with unique skills. Oh, and a boatload of Arena challenges.
There's no "USA" version of MHXX (Double Cross, or Generations Ultimate) for 3DS, I wish it was. Generations, the first version of the game, did have DLC, but they're different entities and the DLC is different for each. And as mentioned, MH3U puts things in the save folder, but the others put them on the usual extdata structure.
pasted raw files into "content" and didnt work
edit
put files
content>extdata (put data here)
disnt work either
like folder structure
i backed those file like a year ago never paid attention to the folders structure
now i got the files in New Folder

There, there's a cmd folder, 00000000.app, 00000000,tmd and 00000001.app.
Again, look for the id that matches the region of your game.
European MH3U is 000BD100, american is 000AE400.
Oh, and be sure the DLC matches your region too, you might be using DLC for the version you don't have, and might cause conflicts.

That's not the directory I said. You don't have the folder with the long string of numbers, which is strange...
Have the game installed? Did you run it, or boot your cartridge to create a file?

there are 2 folders with long strings of numbers and letters
i just erased it on that image
playing the game loads normal, like the files arent even there

Ah...
I will have to look more, I don't know what could be going on there, and I don't have my console near.
I wonder if dlc is locked to the save file it was downloaded with or something else going on...
Edit: I just noticed.
The card1/2/3, cardbox and quest1/2/3/4 files are the result of taking the files out of the system through the save file manager Checkpoint.
You should reinsert them through checkpoint too, you'd need to go to the sd:/3ds/Checkpoint/exdata folder, create another folder there named "0x0AE400 MH3U" and inside of that oneand put those files there.
sd:/3ds/Checkpoint/exdata/0x0AE400 MH3U/DLC
For example.
Then on checkpoint you might be able to encrypt them and put them where they belong.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
